My handwriting SUCKSWhich is weird because I've been writing for decades and only have been drawing for the past five years but it SUCKS.Should I just give up on writing for my funny comics and use a font? That will look robotic but at least it'll be legible
>>7803602>Should I just give up on writing for my funny comics and use a font? That will look robotic but at least it'll be legibleMost just use fonts these days anyway, you do realise there are hand written cartoon fonts that exist, right?That said, take a look at the famous artists course, and probably the famous cartoonists course, I believe they both have sections on drawing fonts, type, and handwriting - and the like.Your issue just likely stems from the fact that you're not using guides and aren't giving thought to the spacing between your letters. Write more slowly, and deliberately.
>>7803602>>7803602How do you usually letter your comics? because most artist don't free hand it. They use specialized tools for consistency. Get yourself an ames guide and practice making your letters the same width and size, and pick a couple of comics that you like and find out who did the lettering for them. you can also make a font of your own handwriting and change the letters here and there so it doesn't feel so mechanical. Really you have a lot of options. I'll leave some guides so you can get an idea for wt you wanna do:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4K4-7vR-TEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEtcPaET0A&t=13shttps://kleinletters.com/LetteringTop.html (award winning comic letterer)https://balloontales.com/category/tips/lettering/ (also award winning, they've done logos for just about everybody)
>>7803602>My handwriting SUCKSSo fucking practice at it. Take your time and learn to refine it. Imperfections add charm anyhow.
>>7803715This + get an ames lettering guide. Take your time and write slowly, trying to write quickly without first getting the motions down is just going to make your letters look sloppy.

The world has changed a lot. What is the best way to launch a comic if you have 0 followers in 2025?
>>7803078sounds like a great way to get nowhere and die homeless and unknown
>>7803173Tell us your wisdom then crab. I'll add you can try publishing to Image Comics or Dark Horse Comics.
>>7801589Onion girl made the bad boys cryyyyy
>>7803173Literally tons of artists do this. You sound retarded.
>>7803653>>7803665>crabThe opposite. I want people to succeed. All ships rise with the tide.Make something marketable and pitch it to a publisher. Or at least if you must go the self-publishing route, build your audience with your comics. Trying to build a following with fanart is like a bank trying to get started by starting as a bakery. People who want to see fanart mostly aren't going to be interested in your original work even if it's insanely good. The best way to launch a comic is to not have much ceremony about it because nobody's looking. Just make the comic and start posting it as you go and if it's any good and as long as you're posting it and interacting with the platforms then it'll slowly grow. Emphasis on slowly. It might take a decade or more to become a stable source of income.I didn't have that time, and you might not either, that's why went to a publisher instead and I recommend people who are serious about this at least give it a try. It worked out for me but it doesn't work out for everyone.>>7803665And tons of people get big on twitch. You're ignoring the 99% who don't get anywhere with it.

Is there a particular reason you cant learn to draw using your left side of the brain?I know the right side is the one everyone desires, but most people can't use it 100% everytime.So why not learn to draw using the analitical side of the brain?I think I can draw nicely taking into account I still use my symbol drawing skills.
every second i waste procrastinating, everyone else who is drawing gets stronger

How much am I supposed to bother in an A4 with common mechanical pencil and how much is my lack of skill? how do you know that it's because I lack practise, I lack knowledge, or I'm just trying something on a bad medium and/or scale and I should have tried with a bigger page or just jump to digital?(PD: if you think it can be done good with just cheap shit like printer paper and mechanical pencil, try this study and let me see how do you attack it if you can)

How do you use 2 point perspective to draw rooms and things with non-squareish shapes? Like an airplane cockpit for example.
all of the really high-tier artists just trace shapes in blender. you don't need to know how to animate or design characters or anything, literally just make a flat grey box in the shape of your cockpit, position camera, then trace the scene. add characters later.
>>7800047One method is to just draw a square/box, but using that box to then find the shape you want.So if you want a circular shape, you'd draw a square, and then draw the circle within the square (the circle is going to touch the four edges in the middle) and go from there.No need to be so anal about it though, you can do what the anon above suggested, or just free hand it - so long as it looks good enough, it'll be... well, good enough.
>>7800226Thanks. I think I'm figuring it out.
>>7800047I'm not an expert but I feel like 4 point perspective would be better to fully capture the depth of that cockpit
>>7800725cool thanks for the image, anon.
Whats the best way to create appealing (anime) characters with only a few bells and whistles?I'm attempting to make a Peggle clone using loli waifus instead of Masters Picrel concept sketch for a tomboy girl based off of Jimmy : )
Be sure to vary your eyes on different charactersHave a few archetypes covered, even a couple you are eh about personallyWhat kind of design stuff are you looking for advice on? Color?I will say your anatomy definitely needs some work but I like your lines otherwise
>>7800108Learn to animate. Not joking.
>>7800112kinda what im focusing on the most is archetypes and eyes Y_Ynot really color, but what tends to stand out most design wise i guess? idk what im asking for desu. i know solid shapes and utilizing empty space and recognizable silhouettes and all that garbage but what draws people to like designs from a general company and not just just the art itself ? like you still recognize and find say frierens design a lot even if a shitty artist renders it, yknow?
>>7800126Okay I will help a bit,For eyes, draw them in deliberate shapes. These jkind of shapes can be like rounded for a happy character or sharp and lower for a tsundere character. Just lost my tablet pen earlier so I drew this with my finger lolI think for making characters look different it is helpful to break the eye into different shapes and go from thereFor standing out, the best way is to make your pic and make it icon size and see if you can still easily recognize your character. Can you tell who it is? Good, if you cannot and it seems muddy, the design may need work
>>7800114This is actually legit advice. Also, learn and make a habit of regularly practicing gesture drawing to improve your eye for abstraction and shapes.It's why animators often do gesture drawings to get better. The benefits bleed over
Whats the point of learning trad, when theres so many shortcuts you can take with digital?https://x.com/khyleri/status/1990465340317577681Dont wanna seem jealous or vindictive, but alot of people online (not picrel artist) seem to just learn the basic fundamentals and then use all these tricks to make great art and webcomics. Sorta demoralizing when im trying to learn everything, and then if I mess up a single drop, or brush, then the works ruined. Im learning digital now, and its honestly so much easier, when you have a good grasp of the fundamentals
>>7799398>A fart in the wind.you mean a poo in the loo
>>7797244spbponly shit smelling jeets wouldn't understand
>>7797235>drawing over something or even outright tracing is digital only People have been tracing shit and inventing devices which allowed them to trace reality since long before even cameras existed
>>7797235>Whats the point of learning trad, when theres so many shortcuts you can take with digital?Which shortcuts you take, regardless of medium, is up to you. Some digital artists ignore 3D models and photobashing.The way I see it, I find joy in being stubborn and mastering things myself. I don't even use rulers or shit like ellipse tool, because I know if I used those every time I need a straight line/circle, I'll forever be unable to freehand that shit. But if I learn to do things the hard way throughout my beg journey, I'll be entirely unreliant on crutches in the long run. I might end up using shortcuts some day, for shit like tight deadlines or things I can't be arsed doing myself, but I find value in first learning to do it the hard way and conquering that struggle.It's part of why AI art is so despised too, there's no effort, no struggle, no conquering, no mastery. You don't prove anything, you aren't showing your worth because there is none. People gawked at Kim Jung Gi for a reason.
>>7797235>Whats the point of learning trad,The point is that YOU want to do it. There is no you win at life trophy here
I beg of you can someone take me through a step by step process for drawing faces?I can manage simple male cartoon faces but I can't draw female faces, or add details for the life of me. It always looks wrong without failI have some 'talent' (using the word very loosely) at drawing but faces have always been my weak spot
Use vertical straight lines (your pencil) to measure how things line up. Measure arbitrary features and use them for accuracy. (The head should be as wide as 6 of her eyes. Or her chin is exactly one nose length away from the bottom of her nose. You keep doing little measurement checks like this and slowly a perfect portrait will emerge
>>7803548>This one is a significant improvement above the other one.I thought so as well; I was actually really proud of that when I finished it. I was doing more of what this anon is saying>>7803572 and constantly making little adjustmentsAny other tips besides draw more? I seem to be on the right track with the second picture and want to keep it going in the correct direction
Are you drawing from reference or inventing heads from imagination?
>>7803669Reference, but I'd love to get to a point where I can do it from imagination. I can draw cartoons and the like from imagination but something that looks real
Pick a system for memorizing the proportions and features of the head from the front and side view, like loomis. Then apply it a bunch for front/side portraits until you are confident you truly know it. A good way to check if you actually know the information is explaining it as a step by step process without being able to draw yourself, as if you were instructing somebody else how to draw a head. Then you can begin to use that knowledge when you draw portraits in other perspectives. You will overtime learn how to project those orthographic views into perspective drawings while maintaining the correct proportions.This is the same way I would learn to draw pretty much any object. If you want to learn how to draw a car, figure out how to draw the important car features from the side and front first. Only once you can draw them in no/flat perspective can you begin to draw them in more complex perspectives.
Hey /ic/ I am working on this painting, could you tell me what you think about my work so far? What should I improve on. Im trying to add detal of blue blood vains on her breasts, but im not sure how to do it. Could someone with experience show me and example, or give me some tips? Thank you.
>>7803500Do you want your trannies to NOT have big tits?
>>7803549Not while they kiss Shadowheart from GOT

>>7802878It looks like you have tons of creativity and ideas to express with paint. However, you have very bad foundational drawing skills. I would put the paint down and just sketch sketch sketch. Use reference and aim for accuracy. Come back to paint after 5 years or so
>>7802878Jesus christ dude just start over
How do most NSFW artists get paid? I assume Paypal but I'm too paranoid to use that shit. I don't wanna get doxxed by some shartyteen for drawing a 17 year old character. Crypto seems perfect for being anonymous, but most people interested in commissioning artists probably don't use it. There's cashapp but it's US only. How has there not been an English equivalent of Skeb yet? This stuff pisses me off in general, why can't artists just draw smut in peace without having to worry about being hounded by retards?
>>7800574the only coin it takes is bitcoin but people commissioning porn are too retarded to use italso porn is degenerate, i came in the thread to tell OP i hope it is made illegal where you are and you somehow end up in CECOT.
>>7798746I'm beginning to wonder PP bans have less to do with NSFW art in particular, and more to do with blocking high sales numbers accounts located in "developing" countries, and there just happens to be high overlap.
>>7790526Yep. You're a woke white woman.
>>7790925In the real world, which ended sometime around 2008, it wasn't a big deal if some randos knew some of your details. Most systems still operate the same way, and new ones that rely on transient public keys or other crypto bullshit like that are totally alien to civilization. And even if you go with those solutions, the net effect is that you give ownership of your given name to the government.
